"General, Wei Dong and his soldiers suddenly left and headed straight north!"
"Yangbei? What is Wei Dong doing? Did Li Feng make something else in Liangzhou Prefecture? No, the Tang army has a 20,000 army, plus local village heroes and clan privates, there are more than 30,000 people.
The army swept across the country, so how could it trap him in the west?" Ye Xuan frowned.
Ye Qi, the captain under Ye Xuan, said in a deep voice: "Is it because Li Feng was trapped in the west that Wei Dong sent troops to support him in order to attract the Tang army to go south and achieve the opportunity to let Li Feng and others escape?"
Ye Xuan was also unpredictable about these things. Li Feng didn't know much about him, but he also knew that this person had a good hand in leading the army, with extraordinary force and meticulous mind. Otherwise, he would not have led thousands of troops.
Running to the rear of the enemy, he forced the Tang army back in a daze. Although the Tang army was defeated by Boping City, everyone knew that it was defeated by the robbery of logistics, without food, no weapons, armor and equipment, and was worried about chaos in the rear.
.
After Li Feng led his army into the enemy's back, Zhang Ting wanted to conspire with him and stand on his own. But he knew that, first of all, there was no soldiers in his hands at that time, so how could he directly match the other party, he was afraid that he would become a puppet. Secondly, he knew the mountain.
With him, the relationship between Yangfu and Xu Jie and even Yanzhou Prefecture Army is not able to resist the dual pressures of Tang and Xu Jie. Third, this is also the most important thing. Shanyang Prefecture is still in Feng Ziming's hands, and
The other party has completely controlled the real power of the ten counties of Shanyang Prefecture. It can be said that Shanyang Prefecture is now completely out of Xu Jie's control and has become independent. Can he compare it with Feng Ziming?
But saying this does not mean that he is willing to surrender. After suppressing Zhang Ting and taking back his military power, he sent half of the Shanyang Prefecture troops back. Of course, it is also a fact that Boping lacks food and grass. Even so, it is true that it is not enough.
Now, in addition to the first battalion of military positions in his hands, there are still 5,000 young and strong men. Although these are just young and strong, they have also assisted in defending the city and seeing blood. As long as they have a little training and equipped with weapons,
It was the army that had been in the army. But they were trapped in the logistics of food and grass, so they could only make these 5,000 people a half-people and half-soldiers, and sent them to regain the towns that they gave up after the Tang army left, and assisted in pacifying the people to settle down.
"General, why don't we return to Shanyang Prefecture and seize the power of Shanyang Prefecture? Why do we let Feng Ziming take charge of Shanyang Prefecture? General, you are the lord of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, the governor Mingwen." Ye Qi saw
Ye Xuan didn't reply and said unwillingly.
Looking at his nephew, Ye Xuan shook his head secretly and said, "Ye Qi, do you dare to bring more than 3,000 people to Liangzhou Prefecture?"
Ye Qi wanted to say he dared, but when he saw his uncle staring at him, he had to say in a deep voice: "I dare not! I can't do it!"
Ye Xuan sighed and said, "You understand what I mean. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."
Ye Qi didn't understand, but he also knew that the difference in strength between his and his opponent was too great. But he didn't know that they and the so-called governor were already hostile people.
"Be careful. Although you don't know what Wei Dong and the others want to do, you're still careful that they annoyed the Tang army and made the Tang army attack south again." Ye Xuan sighed. In fact, he himself dared not, nor could he.
"If Li Feng is really dead and the five thousand troops heading north are defeated, can the troops and horses in Zhang Ting and I suppress Feng Ziming?" Ye Xuan thought secretly in his heart, but he could only think secretly.
Even if he wished Li Feng to be killed, he could not show any signs of it. Otherwise, the people and soldiers who survived because of Li Feng would make it difficult for them to live.
…………
The cavalry led by Guan Lin and Li Guochang rushed forward quickly. After catching up with the caught off guard, they led the army to charge. Only one of them joined forces, and one of the Tang army was killed, and more than five hundred soldiers were killed.
In the case of the army, the two thousand infantrymen were no match for the two thousand cavalry at all. They also rushed for more than twenty miles and were also fast new troops, but the energy of the soldiers of the palace was obviously more abundant than that of the Tang army.
In just half an hour, the Tang army was defeated. With the advantage of cavalry speed, and with the remaining Zhiguo Captain was also killed by Guan Lin, less than 800 Tang soldiers knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. At this point, Siyang
The Tang army in the county has basically been resolved.
The soldiers who escaped from Siyang City did not report the news, but the speed of the cavalry was far from being comparable to walking. When they took down Siyang City, the soldiers of the Tang army who had collapsed in the city also wanted to go over and suppress the bandits.
The Thousand Brothers reported the news, but before they escaped ten miles, they were overtaken by the cavalry of the palace, so that the bandits and soldiers had no idea that there were cavalry coming from behind.
It's funny to say that the armor on the body of the soldiers was still captured by the Tang army. As a result, when two thousand cavalry were about to approach, the soldiers who were found in the Tang army thought that they were their own cavalry. Although they were a little alert, they were also not
The defensive formation has not been formed. Think about it, how could the cavalry coming from behind me, Siyang County, be the enemy? In addition, these are two thousand cavalry, in Liangzhou Prefecture, in addition to the command of the right general, he would also be
Does anyone have it? Of course, the result is...
Speaking of cavalry, even Zhao Xun couldn't believe that there were such war horses hidden among these big towns and fortresses. But if you think about it carefully, there was nothing. After all, this was not owned by one or two, but dozens of them, hundreds of them.
The sum of the Yu family also needs to be added to exchange it from the other bandits and bought it. Two thousand war horses are not many.
Of course, as far as Yanzhou is concerned, no, it should be said that raising war horses is not easy in the Central Plains. The consumption of a cavalry is enough to cover three or four infantrymen. The reason why Zhao Xun was in a hurry to escape was that he was in a hurry to escape.
It was not all that the Tang army was dispatched. It was also the consumption of the cavalry in his hands, which made him unable to afford to rely on the activities of hiding from the east. This is why, Zhao Xun wanted to break through Siyang City again and clean up the city.
.One of the way, it is to mess up the place where Liangzhou Prefecture and Shanyang Prefecture intersect, and secondly, it is also to supplement some materials for itself.
"General, there are more than 20,000 people in the city who are willing to leave with us, and there are more than 40,000 people in various townships in Siyang County." Sun Zhuang counted the number of people leaving the city.
"So many?" Zhao Xun frowned when he heard this. There were too many people, and it was also very troublesome to move.
"General, these people are refugees after the war. In addition, the Tang army desperately recruited young and strong men to fight on the front line and became cannon fodder. These people were dissatisfied. In addition, Zhang Jiawei also made a contribution. Last time we broke the city, we broke the city.
Afterwards, Meng Zhaoyan ordered Zhang Xiaowei to raise food and grass for the army. Zhang Xiaowei and the temporary county magistrate were forced to collect taxes in advance again, which made the people even more miserable. These people were basically homeless, without land, no source of living.
It's a man." Sun Zhuang said with a wry smile.
Zhang Yongxue, who was on the other hand, naturally looked embarrassed, but this matter was also ordered by the above, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Take them all with you. I have already sent an order to ask the Shanyang Army to go north to support us. I guess you will meet them at noon tomorrow. These people enter Shanyang Prefecture, which can be considered as expanding our population." Zhao Xun rubbed it and said.
said between the eyebrows.
"General, it doesn't matter if you bring tens of thousands of people to it, but the number of fields in Shanyang Prefecture is also limited." Sun Zhuang whispered from the side.
Zhao Xun said coldly: "It doesn't matter. After returning to the army this time, we will investigate the population, fields, local tribes, and wealthy families invaded the land. Now, it's time for them to spit it out."
Sun Zhuang and others were moved in their hearts, thinking that Shanyang Prefecture would also start internal rectification. But this had nothing to do with them, so they naturally would not say anything directly.
"Use all the horses, livestock, carts and other transportation items in the city, and do not bring any other except food and some useful things. Don't let ordinary people carry some messy affairs to Shanyang Prefecture.
, We will direct and arrange them. When you are ready, let's go immediately."
With the assistance of the Shanyang Army, tens of thousands of people began to move. The Shanyang Army organized them into neat orders according to the unit of households, ten households and one team, fifty households as one sentinel, and five sentinels as one battalion.
The sequence, under the escort of the Shanyang Army, began to move south. In addition, two or three thousand temporary soldiers were temporarily armed, and the armor and equipment in their hands were all seized from the city. Don’t forget that there are still left-behind people in the city.
Most of the two thousand soldiers were captured when they lost their command and the remaining lieutenant surrendered. The weapons on them naturally fell into the hands of the Shanyang Army.
Although these more than 3,000 temporary soldiers have no combat power, at least in terms of momentum, they also give people a different feeling. In addition, they can also help the Shanyang army maintain order. Tens of thousands of people's actions are not a simple march, after all,
, These people are old and young, and there are many women and children. Zhao Xun didn't want any accidents to happen in the middle.
"This is the southernmost part of the Tang army in Xinhao. Otherwise, it would be really not easy to move these tens of thousands of people." Lu Yu looked at the last team leaving the city and gradually disappeared from his sight, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Yongxue, who was on the other side, couldn't help but be shocked by the actions of the Shanyang Army, and also admired him. In addition to fighting, he could also take into account the ordinary people, which is also a blessing for the people.
"Okay, let's wait for the cavalry army to come back, and at the same time, the clans that can be wiped out in Siyang County, and the large-scale forces will be wiped out first. Lu Yu asked the horse to spread fifty miles around. If you find anything, you will immediately
Report." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice after watching the evacuated troops and the people leaving.
"General, will we establish our enemies by clearing out the big families and prominent families in Siyang County?" Lu Yu hesitated.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I didn't say that all the people who are very famous in daily life have been wiped out. All the things they have obtained, except for the things they use, are all supplied to the people around them. As for those who have good reputations,
Or maybe it’s not a very bad person, so don’t pay attention. In this way, only some prominent families are dissatisfied with us, but ordinary people have a very good impression of us. After comparing with the Tang army, they will understand who is better and who is worse.”
Lu Yu stroked his hands and said, "This is not bad. In this way, the Tang army would probably have to spend some money if they want to win over the hearts of the people."
"Okay, wait for three days here, and we should almost withdraw. I want to see what will happen to this right general of the Tang army?" Zhao Xun smiled relaxedly.
In the afternoon, the cavalry rushed back with eight hundred prisoners.
After hearing that the two thousand enemy troops were wiped out, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel secretly happy. These two thousand troops were wiped out, and there were basically no Tang army activities in Siyang County, so there were many fewer places to be prepared for. In addition, there were also many things he needed to be prepared for.
, the tens of thousands of people who left first do not need to worry about being attacked suddenly.
"Behead all the officers captured in the city, let the rest of the soldiers be released. No matter how you say it, you also want them to promote us! Why can't you keep them in vain!" Zhao Xun ordered with a smile.
If we want to firmly occupy Siyang City, we will naturally not let these prisoners go. After all, it was captured by the soldiers after they defeated. Even if they had no other function, it would be very good to stay as labor.
Now, Zhao Xun has no intention of occupying Siyang County, and cannot kill them all, so he can only let them leave. Besides, leaving is also beneficial. So, it will trap Siyang City in Shanyang again.
The news of the army's hand spread all over the place, which was enough to surprise the Tang army and the people of the southern counties of Liangzhou Prefecture.
On June 3rd, Meng Zhao, who was north of Siyang County and at the junction of Liaocheng and Leping counties, finally got the situation in Siyang County.
"What did you say? Siyang County was lost? Or was it done by the Shanyang Prefecture Army led by Li Feng last time?" Meng Zhao couldn't believe it when he heard the messenger who rushed from Siyang County.
"Report to the right general, this is true. Two days ago, the enemy's raid appeared at the East Gate, and Zhang Yongxue, the remaining lieutenant of Siyang County, surrendered. Then Siyang City was caught off guard, less than half an hour
Lost! Four thousand brothers, basically all the troops were killed!"
"Zhang Yongxue... should have been killed... should have been killed long ago! Aren't there four thousand people in the city? Zhang Yongxue is already an enforced captain. Even if the east gate is lost, it will not be put down by the enemy at once." Meng Zhao
He was about to vomit blood. Now he regretted it to death. If he had known it, he would have followed his subordinates' opinions and executed Zhang Yongxue. In fact, he also knew that his infringement of the other party's arrangements might be one of the reasons why the other party surrendered.
"On the same day, Yongxian Town, north of Siyang City, was attacked by bandits in front of him. Two thousand troops were sent to clear the enemy, and they were trapped. The Shanyang Prefecture Army had two thousand cavalry. After breaking the city, they rushed to catch up with them.
The two thousand brothers who had marched for an hour were wiped out." The messenger said the information in detail in a hurry.
"Fuck!" Meng Zhao fainted when he heard this and couldn't help but curse. How could he not know now that his subordinates must have been trapped in the enemy's plan? What kind of Yongchen Town was attacked by bandits, it must be the enemy.
The army set up a mysterious formation, and the defenders in the city were dispersed.
"How did they appear behind us from the west, damn!" Meng Zhao's face turned red at this moment, and there was no such thing as a general at all.
"Right General, the most urgent task now is to return to Siyang City and take it back to Siyang County!" General Meng Zhao was furious, and Yuan Li persuaded urgently.
"Return to the aid? What a big deal! This is what Li Feng wants. When we return to the aid, the bandits trapped in the west will have a way out. They will definitely disperse and hide from all over the place." Meng Zhao said angrily.
Roared.
Yuan Li smiled bitterly and said, "General, this is true. However, Siyang County is the southern gateway to Liangzhou Prefecture. If Siyang City is lost, our defense line will be pulled back one county, which will be detrimental to us."
How could we not know that this is the other party's plan, but it is okay not to do it? It would be fine if the war failed, but even the right general could not afford to lose the city one after another. If it could not be defeated, can't we defend it? Only tens of thousands
The man was defeated by a unit of four or five thousand government troops and was even tricked. If this continues, the right general will lose his face and will be in trouble at that time.
Meng Zhao also woke up at this moment and took a few deep breaths. He understood that he was forced into a dilemma by the other party. He continued to siege the bandits. Who knew if the government army would still remain indifferent? Return to Siyang County,
The bandits will have the opportunity to escape, and this busy action will be considered a failure.
